The Latest

Monday, March 14, 2016

A&E's Bates Motel was back for season four with a 0.66, down by 28% from last year's premiere.

Its lead-out Damien, yet another TV series based on a horror film, disappointed with a 0.31 opener. It had less than 50% retention of Bates, of course, but even worse was that it managed barely half of where The Returned opened in this slot last year (0.58).

FX's The People v. O.J. Simpson (American Crime Story) (1.24) had its first week-to-week uptick on the heels of new developments in the real-life O.J. case. It has stayed a strong second among the currently airing shows in this table.
